Renewable Energy Lawyers

The renewables sector continues to present economic opportunities for anyone with an interest in the sector – landowners, developers, farmers and communities despite the challenging new policy environment.

We can help you realise that potential with our unique multi-disciplinary approach.

Our team of specialists has unrivalled sector know-how and has already successfully advised on hundreds of projects from initial planning, development and leasing through to tax implications, dispute resolution and contract agreements.

Renewable Energy Projects and Developments

Our team of lawyers have an excellent reputation in the renewables sector having advised on more than 300 renewable energy schemes and taken numerous projects to the stage of commencement of generation and beyond.

Whether you are considering the potential for wind, hydro, biomass, landfill gas, solar voltaic or solar thermal, anaerobic digestion or any other type of renewable development, we can help you navigate a route to successful generation. We can provide innovative solutions facilitating the progression of developments.

An Integrated Approach to Renewable Energy

In addition to the professional service you will receive from our renewables, land and property experts, our Tax and Succession specialists will be available to work in close conjunction with you and your advisor to provide expertise on taxation consequences and tax planning and mitigation opportunities.

Continued Opportunities

The introduction of Feed-in Tariffs (FiT) in 2010 guaranteed to landowners fixed payments for up to 20 years for generation of electricity from small-scale schemes on their land. We have advised on the best way to structure such developments, whether undertaken by the landowner alone or as a joint venture with developers. While financial support to the renewables sector has been scaled back, opportunities continue to exist for sites in the right locations where efficiency is maximised.
